Triumph international, an underwear and lingerie brand, recently had a print ad promoting ladies’ brassiere, and the tagline for the ad read ‘for the ladies..who pamper their dads’!

Not stopping here, they also had a 15% discount on the eve of Father’s Day! Can it get any more atrocious?

Not surprisingly, several popular faces in Bollywood trolled the brand and the Twitterati turned its full wrath upon the company.

See a  few samples here:

The brand took to social media and apologized for the grave error that attracted comments such as ‘perverted’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘shameful’.  A representative promised to ensure ‘such lapses’ didn’t occur in the future.

Looks like the brand took Freud too seriously!!!
